im selling my favorite toy and moving onto bigger and better things (like a dual 2.3). i bought this computer march 9 2004 and it has served me very, very, very well. i love this computer to death. the specs are in my sig but i guess theres no harm in reposting:

Processor: 1.8ghz G5
Bus: 900mhz
Ram: 1.5 included, expandable to 8gb (512 standard)
HD: 160gb
PCI: 3 PCI-X and one AGP 8x
Video Card: nVidia GeForce FX5200 Ultra 64MB VRAM
Optical Drive: 4x Superdrive

included are all the original cables, manuals, cds, dvds, boxes, everything just like you bought it yesterday (well, except for the extra gigabyte of ram). this computer is actually quite hard to come by - its discontinued, and you should not confuse it with the late 1.8ghz apple sold, which came with an 80gb hd, 4slots of ram expandable to 4gb, not 8, and the exclusion of PCI-X slots). it is in mint condition, no scratches or blemishes, all fans work in perfect order, keyboard and mouse are dead white and very clean (i used an iskin to keep it that way..unfortunately ill be keeping this iskin for my new g5).

the computer will obviously ship with tiger, and you may email me to request any other software or game title preinstalled when you receive the machine...i have a very large selection.

for all of this, im asking $2000 OBO. this computer is one of a kind and will serve the next owner very well. email or PM for any more questions or pictures

thanks


local (los angeles) pickup available / preferred though i dont mind discussing shipping

interested in a emac for trade

[spitty27]

you want me to trade my 1.8 ghz g5 for youe 1.25ghz g4 emac? lol

[doucy2]

i would add cash duh lol
who would be dumb enough to do that trade

[spitty27]

well its a silly trade anyway, sorry no offense. why would i doungrade my machine + cash? im obviously going out to go buy a better, bigger machine so the emac wont cut it. sorry. the g5 is such an amazing computer.

When you say you're including software, are you actually going to be sending the boxed software CDs/DVDs with the machine?

It's just something I think you should clarify given rule #5 of the Marketplace posting guidelines:

5) Any software included with a machine must come with the install discs and license keys. If you aren't providing the legal copies, don't list the software.

So if you're going to provide it with Tiger installed, it should have the Tiger box and DVD as well. Otherwise you should sell it with only the software included with the computer's install/restore disc.

update: computer now sports 2gb of ddr ram, and is for sale now at $1900

[Garage81]

good luck selling at that price

people here are stingy.

[spitty27]

yeah we all know but it was worth a shot. people like offering 1500 for something that a little over a year ago was worth $2,399 (not to mention the added 1.5gb of ram which should bring it up over $200). $2,599 to $1,499?! a g5 does not depreciate $1,100 in one year. uuuuuuuurgh.

not to thread crap, but it does when you can get a dual 1.8 refurb (witha year warranty) from apple for $1499.

i know your machine has more ram, but said ram can be had for under 150.00

good luck with the sale, especially to stingy people like me
